Correct pattern for Drivesett

I have a driveway to build:

The house has a near 90 deg internal angle, with a door in the corner. There is then 100m2 of Driveset to lay and then juts onto the tramac driveway with a curve.

I can't replace all the tarmac (the drive is 500m long!), but want a decent section close to house to sit out on etc. I have Driveset in 3 different sizes, so stretcher bond sounds suitable, should I run it straight and parrellel to one wall of the house?, curved and concentric from the drive, or radially out from the door?

Which would look best? and any special consideration for juxtuposing onto tramac at the same level?

H=house, T = tarmac drive

What would be the best pattern for this

If you've already invested in the Drivesett in all 3 sizes, then a coursed pattern is the obvious one to go for, and it should be square to the driveway, ie, the courses run across the driveway, like the old sett-paved streets.
